John told me that his dream was to own a book store and I excitedly told him: let's open a bookstore!.

For anyone on the hunt for used and hard-to-find books at reasonable prices, Renaissance Books is a good place to start. A fixture in New Westminster since 1997, this bookstore has successfully navigated the changes in the book industry over the years.
“We’ve got a large selection of good books with lower prices than what you would find in most used bookstores,” says co-owner John Preston. “We don’t pay Vancouver rents, so we just try to provide an economical source of reading and books you can’t find in libraries.”
If you ever make the trek out to New Westminster, do check out Renaissance Books. The bookstore’s interior is brightly lit and the prices here are slightly lower than what you’ll find in the heart of downtown. You can find both old and contemporary books at this location. And as a bonus, they have a selection of baked goods and drinks with tables to sit at.
